Issue:

Search results no longer return any results from commons

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=woman&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%22namespaces%22%3A%5B0%2C1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C6%2C7%2C8%2C9%2C10%2C11%2C12%2C13%2C14%2C15%2C100%2C101%2C828%2C829%2C2300%2C2301%2C2302%2C2303%5D%7D&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns828=1&ns829=1&ns2300=1&ns2301=1&ns2302=1&ns2303=1&safemode=1

Expected

An image from commons on the sidebar.

Actual

Not even a single mention of commons results.

Notes:

This is might be related to the new deployment of "Extension:AdvancedSearch" , apparently this was only disabled on english wikipedia (and maybe a few other wikis), https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T163463.

Just a quick note regarding AdvancedSearch. You can disable the AdvancedSearch interface completely via the user settings ( this is a brand new feature ). When I do that and visit the link above I also do not get an image. So this is probably unrelated to AdvancedSearch and might be something else :-/

Best wishes,

That's a good point. I suppose it can also easily be seen by disabling javascript as well. The odd thing is that only commons was disabled, considering that the sidebar brings in multiple from different wikis, one would have expected all of them to stop working at the same time. It might be just a coincidence.

I guess the feature isn't that popular considering that it probably stopped working quite a long time ago and nobody noticed it. Or maybe the fact that it randomly pops up only when there are images makes it harder to notice It might be good to always suggest searching commons for an image.

Anyway, thanks for the double checking it ...
